"My insurance company gave me 30 days to replace a 24-year-old shingle roof or lose coverage. Sage came out same day for an estimate, explained everything clearly, and had the whole re-roof done in two days. They found rotted decking two other contractors didn't even look for. The permit passed first inspection. Couldn't have been smoother."

Know the Difference
Re-Roofing vs. Roof Repair — Which Do You Need?
Not every roof problem requires a full replacement — and not every problem can be fixed with a patch. Here's an honest breakdown to help you decide before you call anyone.
Re-Roofing — Full Replacement
When You Need a Full Re-Roof
Re-roofing means a complete tear-off and replacement of your entire roofing system — materials, underlayment, and often damaged decking. It's the right call when your roof is beyond the point where targeted repairs make financial or structural sense.
Roof is 20+ years old (shingle) or 30+ years (tile/metal underlayment)
Widespread shingle failure, curling, or loss across multiple areas
Insurance company requiring roof replacement to renew coverage
Rotted or compromised roof deck visible during inspection
Multiple leaks in different areas of the roof
You're paying for repairs every 1–2 years already
You want to upgrade to metal or tile for long-term value
Roof Repair — Targeted Fix
When Repair May Be Enough
Targeted roof repair makes sense when the overall system is structurally sound and the issue is localized to a specific area. A professional inspection is the only way to know for sure — we provide those free.
Roof is less than 15 years old with most material intact
Single isolated leak with a clearly identifiable source
Storm damage limited to a specific section or few tiles
Flashing failure around a chimney, skylight, or vent
A few cracked or missing tiles with underlayment still sound
Roof is aging with widespread granule loss or brittle shingles
Deck shows signs of rot, soft spots, or moisture damage
Not Sure Which You Need? We'll Tell You — For Free
Our free inspections are honest assessments, not sales pitches. If repair is the right call, we'll tell you. We'd rather earn your trust now than push a job you don't need.
Choose Your System
Re-Roof with the Right System For Your Home
A re-roofing project is the perfect opportunity to upgrade. We'll help you choose the system that best fits your home, budget, and long-term goals — with honest comparisons, not upsells.
Most Affordable
Asphalt Shingle Re-Roof
The most popular re-roofing choice in Southwest Florida. Modern architectural shingles deliver reliable 20–30 year performance at the most competitive installed price. If you're replacing an aging shingle roof and want the most cost-effective solution, this is it — done correctly with the right underlayment and ventilation for Florida's climate.

Best Long-Term Value
Metal Re-Roofing
The smartest long-term re-roofing investment for Southwest Florida. When you're replacing an old shingle roof, upgrading to standing seam or metal shingles delivers 40–70 years of performance — meaning this will very likely be the last roof you ever buy. Superior hurricane resistance, significant energy savings, and potential insurance premium reductions make the math compelling.

Longest Lifespan
Tile Re-Roofing
The pinnacle of Florida roofing longevity. Re-roofing with clay or concrete tile means installing a system that will likely outlast the building itself — 50–100+ years of proven performance in Florida's climate. Whether you're upgrading from shingles or replacing an aging tile roof with new underlayment and restored tiles, tile re-roofing is the ultimate long-term investment in your home.

What's Included
Everything in Every Sage Re-Roofing Job
We don't cut corners on any step of the re-roofing process. Every job includes the complete scope — no surprises, no hidden line items, nothing left out to win the bid.
01
Complete Tear-Off
Every layer of old roofing material is removed down to bare decking — no layering over existing shingles. Florida Building Code requires this on most re-roofs, and it's the only way to properly inspect what's underneath before laying a new system.
02
Full Deck Inspection & Repair
Once the old roof is off, we inspect every board of decking for rot, soft spots, moisture damage, and structural compromise. Any damaged decking is replaced before we lay a single piece of new material — no exceptions.
03
High-Performance Underlayment
We install the correct underlayment system for your chosen roofing material and Florida's climate requirements — including self-adhering peel-and-stick systems in vulnerable areas for maximum water resistance under any conditions.
04
New Roofing System Installation
Full installation of your chosen roofing system — shingle, metal, or tile — by our manufacturer-certified crew following approved installation specifications. Done correctly the first time to qualify for the full manufacturer warranty.
05
Flashing, Ridge & Detail Work
All flashing around chimneys, skylights, vents, walls, and eaves replaced new. Ridge caps installed per manufacturer spec. Proper ventilation assessed and corrected if needed — a critical detail that affects both roof lifespan and home energy efficiency.
06
Permits, Inspection & Cleanup
Lee or Collier County permit pulled before work starts, county final inspection completed and on record. Magnetic nail sweep performed across the entire property. Full cleanup — no debris left behind, no shingles in your landscaping, no surprises.

Why Sage Roofing
Your Re-Roof Is Only as Good as the Crew Doing It
The biggest mistake homeowners make when re-roofing is choosing the lowest bid without verifying what's actually included. Skipped permits, single-layer installation over existing shingles, wrong underlayment — these are the shortcuts that haunt you five years later. Sage Roofing does every re-roofing job to the full standard, every time.
FL Licensed & Fully Insured
License #CCC1337188 — verifiable right now at myfloridalicense.com. Full general liability and workers' compensation on every job. Don't hire anyone who can't give you this.
Permits Pulled — No Exceptions
Every re-roofing project is permitted through Lee or Collier County and receives a final county inspection. No unpermitted work — ever. Unpermitted roofs create insurance voids and title nightmares at resale.
Always Full Tear-Off
We never install over existing roofing material. Full tear-off is always included — it's the only way to inspect the deck, install proper underlayment, and qualify for the full manufacturer warranty.
Itemized Written Quotes
Every estimate details material type and grade, underlayment spec, decking allowance, permit fees, labor, and warranty terms. No vague "roof replacement — $X" quotes with hidden exclusions.
5.0 Star Google Rating
Our re-roofing customers consistently note the same things: thorough crew, great communication, clean job sites, and a finished roof that looks and performs exactly as promised. See for yourself.

What Homeowners Say About Their Sage Re-Roof
Southwest Florida homeowners who trusted Sage Roofing with their complete roof replacement — in their own words.
"We used the re-roof as an opportunity to upgrade from shingles to a standing seam metal roof. Sage walked us through exactly why metal made financial sense over a 20-year horizon — not a sales pitch, just honest math. The install took 4 days, everything permitted, and our insurance dropped over $1,400 a year. Best home investment we've made."

Metal Re-Roof
"Our 28-year-old tile roof needed a full underlayment replacement and re-set. Sage was the only contractor who took the time to actually explain what needed to be done and why. They carefully removed and stacked all the original tiles, replaced the entire underlayment system, and reset everything perfectly. You'd never know it was touched. Passed county inspection no issues."

FAQs
Re-Roofing Questions Answered
Common questions from Cape Coral and Southwest Florida homeowners planning a complete roof replacement.
Re-roofing costs in Cape Coral range from approximately $8,000 for a basic shingle replacement up to $38,000+ for premium clay tile or standing seam metal on a larger home. The biggest factors are roof size, chosen system, and the condition of the existing deck. We provide free, fully itemized written estimates — same day in most cases — so you know exactly what you're paying before committing to anything.
We don't — and you should be cautious of any contractor who offers to. Installing over existing shingles traps moisture, prevents a proper deck inspection, almost always voids your manufacturer warranty, and may not be permitted in Lee or Collier County depending on how many layers already exist. Full tear-off is always included in every Sage re-roofing job. It's the only way to do it right.
The physical installation typically takes 1–5 days depending on your roofing system and roof size. Shingle re-roofs are fastest at 1–3 days; metal and tile take 3–5 days. Add 1–3 weeks for permit processing through Lee or Collier County before work begins. We always pull permits before starting and complete the county final inspection before closing out the job.
Yes — always. Every full roof replacement in Lee and Collier County requires a permit and final county inspection. Any contractor who suggests skipping permits to speed up the job or reduce cost is a serious red flag. Unpermitted roofing work can void your homeowner's insurance, disqualify you from some insurance carriers entirely, and create major title issues when you sell your home. Sage Roofing never skips permits.
For many homeowners, a re-roofing project is the ideal opportunity to upgrade. If you plan to stay in your home long-term, the math often favors metal or tile — you'll pay more upfront but likely never re-roof again, while saving on energy bills, insurance premiums, and maintenance costs. If you're planning to sell in the next few years, a quality shingle replacement may be the smarter financial move. We'll walk you through the honest comparison at your free estimate.
Almost certainly yes — and in many cases it's required to keep coverage at all. Florida insurers are increasingly non-renewing policies on homes with roofs over 15–20 years old. A new roof not only satisfies insurer requirements, it often qualifies for significant premium discounts — especially with metal or tile systems. We provide the complete documentation your carrier needs for the premium review as part of every re-roofing job.
